Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a unique technique in human neuroimaging combining high temporal resolution (millisecond or faster) with moderate spatial resolution (several millimeter). While many software packages for MEG data analysis exist, there is no pipeline developed for the specific purpose of enabling the…

Pupillometry provides a non-invasive window into the mind and brain, particularly as a psychophysiological readout of autonomic and cognitive processes like arousal, attention, stress, and emotional states. Pupillometry research lacks a robust, standardized framework for data preprocessing, whereas in functional…

Macaque MRI bridges non-invasive systems neuroscience with cellular and circuit-level mechanisms, but preprocessing tools remain difficult to integrate and deploy reproducibly. We present Brainana, an automated, BIDS-compatible preprocessing and visualization framework for macaque neuroimaging. Brainana integrates…

Brain age is an estimate of chronological age obtained from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (T1w MRI) and represents a simple diagnostic biomarker of brain ageing and associated diseases. While the current best accuracy of brain age predictions on T1w MRIs of healthy subjects ranges from two to three years…

Raman spectroscopy offers a uniquely rich window into molecular structure and composition, making it a powerful tool across fields ranging from materials science to biology. However, the reproducibility of Raman data analysis remains a fundamental bottleneck. In practice, transforming raw spectra into meaningful…

Cognitive pupillometry is the measurement of pupil size to investigate cognitive processes such as attention, mental effort, working memory, and many others. Currently, there is no commonly agreed-upon methodology for conducting cognitive-pupillometry experiments, and approaches vary widely between research groups and…

Preprocessing is necessary to extract meaningful results from electroencephalography (EEG) data. With many possible preprocessing choices, their impact on outcomes is fundamental. While previous studies have explored the effects of preprocessing on stationary EEG data, this research delves into mobile EEG, where…

Numerous methods exist to analyze functional MRI (fMRI) data, but no software currently exists to integrate the commonly-used FSL statistical analysis software with alternative preprocessing methods from the Human Connectome Project. Here we developed the Connectome Operations For FSL ExEcution (COFFEE) pipeline to…

Preprocessing is a critical step in single-cell data analysis, yet current practices remain largely a black-box, trial-and-error process driven by user intuition, legacy defaults, and ad hoc heuristics. The optimal combination of steps such as normalization, gene selection, and dimensionality reduction varies across…

A recent article (Delorme, A., 2023, EEG is better left alone. Scientific Reports, 13, 2372. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-27528-0) proposed a metric to determine the benefit of applying pre-processing methods to EEG data. Using that metric, it concluded that most pre-processing methods do not improve data…

Gene network inference (GNI) methods have the potential to reveal functional relationships between different genes and their products. Most GNI algorithms have been developed for microarray gene expression datasets and their application to RNA-seq data is relatively recent. As the characteristics of RNA-seq data are…

Cortical surface reconstruction has changed how we study brain morphology and geometry. However, extending these methods to non-human species has been limited by the lack of standardized pipelines, anatomical templates, and variability in imaging protocols. To address these challenges, we present Precon_all, an…

The future of personalized health relies on knowledge of dietary composition. The current analytical methods are impractical to scale up, and the computational methods are inadequate. We propose machine learning models to predict the nutritional profiles of cooked foods given the raw food composition and cooking…
